Real grappling

by Thompson, Geoff

Grappling (wrestling) is probably the oldest genre of combat known to man. Throughout the world, wrestling and grappling have been a part of every culture, probably due to the fact that pulling, holding, lifting and carrying are far more natural to us as living and working human beings than punching or striking.Geoff Thompson’s extensively illustrated manual takes you step by step through all the moves and techniques needed to become competent in the grappling arts. These techniques can be used to complement other forms of martial arts, or used alone in close range self defence.
